This author, a prize winning science writer, delves into the history and specific arguments of science and religion. This book discusses the research on both sides, starting with Copernicus, through the Darwinian Centennial of 1959, and up to the modern body of knowledge in physics, biochemistry, genetics, information theory, and neuroscience. Discussions on materialist laws, "irreducible complexity", and "intentional fine tuning" were very thought provoking. Not an easy read, with LOTS of players/names to keep straight (not my strong suit), but I found the particulars fascinating.
